Blasts in Bangalore: The Blame Game Begins

It is all your fault:

The Centre had forewarned the Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh governments that terrorists could target Bengaluru and Hyderabad, Minister of State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal said on Friday.

“The Intelligence Bureau had received inputs that terrorists could target the cybercities of Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Both the state governments were told to be on high alert,” he said.

Did anyone notice that he has also mentioned Hyderabad? This is the same Sh Jaiswal who memorably said last year:

“One terrorist group or the other is certainly involved in the blasts in Hyderabad” [ link ]

This time, it may not be a terrorist group…and not militants either

The Bangalore police…insisted it was a “small group trying to create panic” and not a conspiracy to target the technological establishment.

But Madam Gandhi believes otherwise

“This is a cowardly act and people who want to disturb the peace of the country are behind it” 

…and apparently the IB knows something that they have not told Bangalore Police…

SIMI and LeT may be behind the serial blasts that rocked Bangalore on Friday afternoon…Intelligence Bureau sources said

🙁

So tragic and surreal…

    Wow. Sonia’s statements are so insightful, it really exposes the psyche of those involved. Maybe she should moonlight as a criminologist in CSI or Law and Order.
    The incompetence of the police and military to prevent these incidents and cowardice of the politicians are abhorable.
    But what makes it worse is such idiotic statements made by Shivraj Patil, Sonia and others who play the citizens for fools.

    => Now the Hindus will show their ‘valour’ and ‘courage’ by behaving as if nothing has happened – how brave indeed [Gandhian Bravery?]!! Death of their fellow citizens means nothing to them.

    => Hindus would rather prefer to die in the hands of ‘few muslims’ instead of fight them back. After all we need to respect each other’s views – Hindus think we all have eaqual religious teachings and we all are equal [Vasidaiva kutumbakam] – I am glad that muslims ‘respect’ that. We too respect their teachings that say that ALL hindus are Kafirs and such try to undersnad their distorted interpretation that such inferiors must be ‘respected’ [What ever that means].

    => Rememebr: (a)not all muslims are bad and the few bad muslims should be allowed to kill ‘bad behaved hindus’ [who are all of them as they are Kafirs] – this is good for our ‘herd’ [ensures perinnial slavish herd] and theirs [keeps them happy and ensures that the muslims go to heaven.
    (b) Any bad and aggressive hindu solely represents the entire ‘hindu community’ and should be looked ad treated at as such.

    => With the victory of UPA, muslims are just celebrating, what we hindus term as ‘Diwali’. Jus as our diwali consists of blowing few crackers, theirs consis of blowing few hindus and our country up. I am sure Hindus wll understand this and ‘respect’ each others views and celebration styles.

    @ Bhishma: I was sorely tempted to edit your comment…but on reflection, I am letting it stand…even though I have some issues with it..

    Please let us try and avoid sweeping generalisations here…I am not being politically correct…but I hope you realise that the problem is mostly with individuals (not wholesale communities) and – more importantly – ideology. Our challenge is to fight the ideology that considers it “normal” for innocents to be targetted and killed

    In my definition, anyone who tries to justify/condone these blasts, is a traitor – and anyone who feels anguish and anger is a patriot…Being a Hindu or a Muslim is incidental in this case.
